The lack of good "correlation" between pre-silicon simulated delays and measured delays on silicon (silicon data) has spurred efforts on so-called silicon debug. The ide...
Test is often seen as a necessary evil; it is a fact of life that ICs have manufacturing defects and those need to be filtered out by testing before the ICs are shipped to the cu...

Semiconductor manufacturers aim at deliver new devices within shorter times in order to gain market shares. First silicon debug is an important issue in order to minimize the time...

Several emerging Design-for-Debug (DFD) methodologies are addressing silicon debug by making internal signal values and other data observable. Most of these methodologies require ...
Since pre-silicon functional verification is insufficient to detect all design errors, re-spins are often needed due to malfunctions that escape into the silicon. This paper pre...
